Now that the dates have been fixed for both the State Democratic and the Republican conventions, I interest runs especially to the mat- ter. of just what nominations have to be made for State offices.

Gaion, resigned, for four years, this being filled by Judge D. LT Ward, through appointment of the " Gov- ernor pending the election of a judge.

Lee, of Haywood county, an avowed candidate for.the commU sionersbip at present held by Mr. Ror but who, since bis ap pointment, has declared that he will be a candidate to succeed him self, thereby leaving the field for the commissionership from the west practically clear to W. T. Lee for I assume that the policy of the Democratic party is to be continnMi bv enviner the wMtm half of the State representation on this important commission. Now, Mr. Editor, I seldom write en dorsements . for candidates for office, but here is an office to be filled this year in which every vo- ter and tax payer should be vitally interested, for it has to do with railroad service, freight rates and the assessment and taxation of all railroad and other corno ration. The farmer, the merchant and all ntW hninp mn of North n.m- nna are interested in the matter of freight rates, it enters materially into the profit and loss account of c very industry and enterprise 0fa1 w .MTlD De,lf 0ur commonwealth, andhncehow very important it is to have a'rea- sonable freight rater, and not only u:- v t corporations shon d be such as to , .. , requiremem u mey arenoiaoicgi W Ibeir just prooortion of to th Cnd lb0 burdens ma 1)0 of he masses of the 1 wo.nld ot ? nnjust to ..es6 corporations, for they are public necessities, we need a com I . , ,,,., . . missioner wno win aeai rainy wiui them and at the aame time see to it toa? e people are given such rates and who would have the nerve and bacbone to see that we get what we are entitled to.

In addition to Mr. Lee's excellent qualifications for the position be has the further credit of a long and loyal service to the Democrat ic oarty. For thirty years or more he has fought in the front of the battle, in season and out of glad to see season.

Janus, the old Roman god, kept the door of his temple open only in times of war, instead of in timet of peace, thus showing his bellige rent disposition.

It is not rtcordod of him that whiU Incon. sistently frowning down higher education, he yet advocated literary societies; that he was a forerunner of Theodore in trying to wrest from our language the silent letters which preserve In words the bis- torr of their derivation and mean, ing; or that, belonging as be did to urban civilization, be ever for sook it for farm life and failed of contentment therewith.
